Hello, sir. What additional documents is the CIC resquesting in the EE system? I am also looking to see what documents I need to prepare.

Thanks a lot.

First they asked me to submit a schedule A form which is the exact same background questions I had already answered in the online application. Afterwards, they asked me for the Mexican police certificate (Mexican applicants like myself need to apply to CIC first, then you get a letter from CIC, that letter is needed to request the Mexican police certificate).
